Donna, not insignificant at all. You have very good taste, so all of your coins are keepers. I, (and most if not all friends here), do not judge...
Yeah, anything modern and Ebay is hard to beat. Problem is most moderns are not worth enough for auction firms to mess with unless in large lots....
So am I sir, so am I. I do get drawn into colonial paper at times, too much cool history in them for me to resist.
But what is CAC doing to the market by not releasing this information? I would say the owner of every coin without a CAC sticker on the slab has...
This is the nefarious thing about CAC labels. People have major biases. If you see a label saying "X-Free", consumers will automatically assume...
Wow, I do not even think its that attractive of a specimen.
I thought the back changed in 1917, and the date recess was later. I didn't think the two were related. As for the coin, it would appear to be...
This response should be stickied. First thing, price guides are out of date the moment they are printed. Also, they are Averages, not expected...
During 1883 a few people MIGHT have gold plated and tried to pass these off as $5 gold pieces. Newspapers ran stories about the "$5 nickels". The...
There is two others I would say. One is the (now rare) true amateur selling inherited coins. Those were always the best deals, but 99% of them...
I know Paul, which is why I said I do not disagree with you on this coin. However, there are still unsearched rolls of other coins nearby. I...
I agree with your conclusion on the 32 D, but disagree on your assertion that what matters is only the certified population. Some of us ARE...
You never will unless its been stripped of its patina. Gold is least reactive, silver a little more reactive, copper MUCH more reactive. Even...
Btw sir, in general, always take mintage figures with a grain of salt. They have VERY little to do with how many survived. Look at 1883 nickel...
An old time dealer named Ben Marlenee was a dealer in the 1940's. I asked him this question once. He said it was almost from day 1 that the 32 D...
You have to know many/most people look for "gotcha's" in the GTG threads. Plus, most of us do not have much experience with nickel three's, and...
Wow. Are you sure you want to break it out man?
Well, I would ask when was the last time you met someone collecting this series by date, especially lower level specimens. 99.99% of Americans do...
Interesting point. The new photos sure do show very sharp edges that a proof would have, as well as "questions" concerning the fields. I do agree...
I agree. XFR would only deal with surface. I would be satisfied if a smelter did a good SG and XFR on it. Gold or PT? I would want it drilled. Too...
Separate names with a comma.
